CPTSD Medicine Podcast Human Design and Transformation with Karen Curry Parker
Human design is a method used to aid in healing complex PTSD (CPTSD) by encouraging individuals to reshape their personal narratives, thereby improving their physical health and overall wellness. This approach highlights the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, promoting a holistic healing journey that empowers individuals to uncover their authentic selves beyond trauma and conditioning. Karen Curry Parker's transition from nursing to using human design exemplifies its power in helping individuals reclaim sovereignty over their stories, leading to transformative health outcomes. Additionally, the exploration of ancestral healing within human design reveals how epigenetics and inherited stories impact stress responses, enabling individuals to rewrite both personal and ancestral narratives for profound healing. By emphasizing the importance of understanding one's energy type, body signals, and the impact of negative storytelling on immune response, this approach advocates for a holistic healthcare model that addresses the root causes of physical and mental health issues.
